OL98: Start Time of Recurring Appointments in a Restricted Collection Is Incorrect for Shared Folder

ID: Q187482

Microsoft Outlook 98

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Outlook 98 Object Model shows the date of recurring appointments to be the same as the date of the parent appointment.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has a fix available for download. To obtain this fix, please go to the following Microsoft Office Update Web site:
